There is a deep significance in the Joint
meeting OF the blue and the gray on the
Gettysburg battlefield reported in yester-
days MINER. The %vanquished were gener.
ously accorded the privilege by the visitors
OF doing the volume OF the speaking. They
proved as fearless Of expressing fraternal
sentiments as they had been valorous on
the field. The universal expression was
that the wal was over and the battle flags
are ours. They admitted them to be in
the hands of the government and satisfied
with III custodian. 1t matters not where
the flags OF the blue and the gray are SO
their hearts are in the right place as they
appear to be in the case OF the fierce war.
riors Of twenty-fonr years ago, who faced
each other with wars terrors and
shared the heroes glories under different
colors. The sinking OF all national feeling
into a common grave OF regret for the past
and the raising OF a monument OF universal
f~raternalism for the future, is the spirit
that should be cultivated by every lover
OF this country and every believer IN it's
grand destiny. Such meetings as that re-
ported from Gettysburg will greatly pro-
mote the peace and harmony OF this lair
and of ours,

The Northern Pacific Railway

The Northern Pacific Railway company,
through Mr.. P. B. Groat, General Emf.
grafton Agent at st. Paul. is sending circu.
lars into Montana asking contributions OF
cereals, grasses and agricultural products
generally for the Minneapolis Exposition
and the Minnesota State Fair at St. Paul.
Now. this seems a short sighted policy on
the part OF this great transcontinental
company. The call for products should
have been SO comprehensive in it's scope as
to have included minerals in which the
Western lands the line traverses abounds.
Montana could alone furnish a mineral
cabinet which would astOnish the Minneso.
tians. who are just beginning to take a lively
interest in u mining industry
and are seeking investment for their money
in this field. st. Paul has already made
such progress as to establish a mising
stock exchange, and Minneapolis capitalists
are furnishing money for mineral develop
rnent throughout the Territory. Weshould
be invited to encourage this business by the
great transcontinental line which traverses
the greatest mineraland the greatest a~gricul.
tural and timber sections OF the country.
Perhaps our friend Mr.. Groat is now pre-
pairing a circular inviting the sending of
specimens OF minerals from Montana.

Butte CITY Club Roona

Many strangers and others who will visit
the city during the Fourth will doubtless
become The guests OF friends Who beIobsy to
|snd viii extend to them the h~ospttalities
of the club room Of the city. While this
sbrief notice is not intended as puff or
advertisement, it must not be construed
a. q reflection upon the superior manage
ment of other club rooms when We say
that the Lotus Club rooms, under the very
efficient management of Mr.. al. orion, pre-
sent attractions seldom found in those Of
the largest Eastern cities. There may be
found the finest of imported wines, liquors
and cigars in their beautiful sample room,
while the reading. card and billiard rooms
are equally well supplied with the neces-
sary eonveniences to make them all that
the visitor or stranger may desire. Butte's
club rooms are among its most attractive
features for the visitor or stranger.

The Pacific Railway drag-net is bringing
some big fish to the surface, some OF the
sucker species. Mr.. G.. C. Barton, OF
the Omaha Smelling and Refining Com.
pany, for instance gives away at the long
range OF a letter, facts and figures showing
a clear case OF collision between the Union
Pacific and his company. The letter shows
that the amount of rebates and over.
charges paid to that company by the
Union Pacific from September 1st, 1888,
to April 1, 1887. was $57O,112, and that
the total amount OF dividends paid Fred.
Ames and Sydney Dillon from the smelling
company during the same period
was $50, 800 each. This would tend to
confirm the popular belief that the Omaha
terminal OF the Union Pacific has been
shown such favors as these in discrimina-
ton against other business ~centers, such
as Butte, which is required to pay such ex-
cessive tariffs as to make the question of
profitable production SO serious 10 some
cases as to give rise to the question OF shut
ting down until we can secure railway com.
petition. When that happy day shall ar
rive thousands of tons of low grade ores
can be worked, and thereby give employ
ment to hundreds more of men. These
are questions for the serious consideration
of the new management of the Union
Pacific.

THE ORDINANCE PASSED.
Now Lic0nse Low i'm Force Passed by
thu Council Last Night.

The City Council met last night at tn.
| City Hall. There were present Messrs
Jahreiss, Lavell, Bateman, Lloyd. Walton
and Owsley. On motion Mr.. Owsley was
called to the chair. MI. Harper, City En-
gineer, presented q plan for streets of the
city, showing in profile the location of gas.
pipes and water-pipes. sewers. poles, side
walk and outside area walls, basement
rails and stairways. On motion of Mr..
Bateman the plat wa referred to the
Street and Alley Committee. The City
Clerk then proceeded to read the ordinance
regulating the licenses to be charged b. the
city. The ordinance was then put on its
passage and unanimously agreed to. The
clerk brought up the matter of suit being
brought in w. 8. Lippincott's court against
the city by the First National Bank on a
warrant drawn by the late City Treasurer,
II. B. Smith, for over 5000, and whose pay
ment the city resists. No action was taken
IN the matter. The question Of paying war
rants during the Mayors absence was dis
cussed and the authority OF the Mayor
pro tenn. to sign warrants decided. Mr..
Pinkham appeared before the Council as a
committee of one from the Fourth of July
Invitation COMMITTEES to extend a formal
invitation to the City Council to take part
in the festivities on that occasion, which
was as formally accepted. The City Trees
urer asked that a resolution be passed
which would protect those to whom he
had already granted licenses under the
old law, and who would now be
required to take out license under the new
law, by which they should receive credit
for the amount they had already paid, and
the following was passed: Be it resolved
by the City Council of the City of Butte
that the City Treasurer be and is hereby
to allow any person taking out
liquor or gambling license under ordinance
50 a credit of the amount of any
license heretofore granted to such party,
which license has not expired, for the time
only for which such license has to run from
the second Of July, 1887. The Council
then adjourned.

ton OF some OF the most intere ting plays
that o hold the boards. Rhea herself
is an artist in her every movement and
infection OF the voice, and her costumes
are the perfection of art. Her company
contains the finest support that ever came
to Butte with any combination. and the
effect OF their rendition is a series of stage
pictures that are without superior in
American accuracy even to the smallest
detail. For the matinee to-day she plays

1t is to be regretted that the friends OF
the late lsmented Abram Sands should
have been misled by the impulse OF their
sudden and great grief, to think that there
wa any suspicion Of foul play in the cas-
or that the coroner and the jury were
hasty n their conclusisn. The relatives
and friends OF the deceased who were here
and investigated the matter, are satisfied
of the theory of suicide and the surround.
ings all showed beyond q doubt that the
coroner's jury we're correct in their con-

In order to facilitate the movements of
the procession through the streets to-day,
citizens with vehicles and onlookers gen.
orally should keep clear OF the space be-

the police will enforce this rule il necessary.
However, a general voluntary observance
Of it would be p~leasanter. Everybody
ought to contribute his full share to the
success Of the street parade.

Gladstone gave the Commons a piece OF
his mind the other night when he said the
government could not only not grasp the
situation in Ireland, but could not muster
the necessary support to legislate for En-
gland and Scotland. This is just the stu
alton. So strong is the opposition to the
ministerial Irish policy in Parliament,
nothing can be accomplished until it is set
tied and the methods OF that settlement is
still an unsolved problem.
